The company also reported growth in smartphone shipments of 81 percent in China and 98 percent in Europe and the cumulative sales this year so far suggest thatHuaweicould be the fastest growing smartphone brand of the year. The third quarter sales suggest that HUAWEI will cross 100 million shipments this year, which represents a 33 percent growth year-on-year and is higher than key rivals such asApple,Samsung,XiaomiandLenovo.
Nicole Peng, Asia Pacific director at research firm Canalys, said:
Achieving 33 percent growth and 100 million shipments would see HUAWEI secure its spot as the third-largest smartphone manufacturer by volume. With devices such as the HUAWEI-madeGoogle Nexus 6Pslowly launching into several markets and therumoured HUAWEI Mate 8set to launchbefore the end of the year, HUAWEI certainly looks on course to achieve its lofty targets.
